[QUOTE="Phil V, post: 1029402, member: 70859"] The other day I finally got around to doing the front brakes on my 05 Sport Trac. I replaced the pads, rotors, calipers and wheel bearings. Upon completion I was severely disappointed. My brakes were almost non existent. They barely engage with the pedal to the floor. There is also no resistance in the pedal. So I bled them again and again. Front and rear. Probably bled them over 15 times. Still nothing. I have 255000 kms on my truck. Figured maybe with the age and the stress of the bleeding I may have blown the master cylinder. So I replaced that too. Bench bled it of course and bled it multiple times after installing, then bled the brakes a couple more times. They feel slightly better but the pedal still goes to the floor, and they barely seem to grab. I have no idea what could be causing this. I am confident there is no air in the system. [/QUOTE]
